Braces Behind Teeth: InSmile Pros & Cons

Love Yourself, Love Your Smile

  • April 30, 2024

Straight teeth and a beautiful smile are great ways to make an impression on the world around you. If your teeth aren’t as straight as you would like them to be, an expert orthodontist has several tricks up their sleeve to improve your bite in a way that matches your lifestyle.

Lingual braces are a discreet way to straighten your teeth without the need for multiple adjustment appointments or major changes to your diet or dental hygiene. If you are looking for a low-maintenance way to improve your bite, braces behind teeth could be for you!

What are InSmile Behind Teeth Braces?

Behind teeth braces are personalized and hidden from view. With InSmile, a custom-shaped wire made from shape-memory alloy applies gentle, continuous pressure to guide your teeth into place, with no monthly tightenings. Treatment starts with a digital scan of your teeth to create a 3D model of your mouth. Dr. Madan uses that model to plan your ideal smile, and your wire is custom-made to match. With no trays to change and no tightening appointments, InSmile makes straightening your teeth easier and more comfortable.

Braces behind teeth can help correct many misalignments, including:

  • Underbite
  • Gap teeth
  • Crooked Teeth
  • Crossbite
  • Crowding
  • Open Bite

Pros and Cons of Braces Behind Teeth

Getting braces behind teeth is a fast and easy way to straighten your teeth, but there are other options for orthodontic alignment. Depending on your needs, wants, and lifestyle, you should consult with your orthodontist to decide between lingual braces with InSmile, traditional metal braces, or Invisalign clear aligners. All systems come with their own lists of pros and cons, and it will be up to you and your orthodontist to decide which treatment plan will be the best fit for you.

Pros and Cons of Braces Behind Teeth

Pros Cons
  • No trays to keep track of or tightening appointments
  • Hidden and discreet
  • Customizable for each individual
  • Comfortable
  • No monthly tightening appointments
  • Easy, low-maintenance treatment
  • Easy to maintain
  • Good for people who play contact sports
  • Predictable outcomes
  • Adjustment period might impact speech
  • Not suitable for all misalignments
  • May cause tongue irritation
  • Could be more expensive
  • Temporary changes to eating habits
  • Defined treatment plans that don’t leave much room for change

Why straighten your smile with behind teeth braces?

While having straight teeth is definitely a plus in the appearance and self-confidence columns, there are also several health benefits to having a bite that lines up properly. 

Some of the ways orthodontics can improve your health include:

Check Make oral hygiene easier Check Better chewing means better digestion
Check Reduce the risk of caries
(dental decay)
Check Reduce the risk of gingivitis
(gum disease)
Check Reduce pain from an uneven bite Check Improve your speech

If you have crowding, an overbite, or misaligned teeth, getting orthodontic treatment to fix these issues can improve your self-image and make taking care of your teeth much easier. In short,  orthodontic treatments like behind teeth braces can dramatically improve your quality of life.
